Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs that can be caused by various pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi, typically affecting healthy individuals. Opportunistic pneumonia, on the other hand, occurs in individuals with weakened immune systems or underlying health conditions, allowing normally harmless microorganisms to cause infection. This type of pneumonia is often associated with specific pathogens, such as Pneumocystis jirovecii in people with HIV/AIDS. Thus, the key difference lies in the health status of the patient and the organisms involved.

Is pneumocystis carini pneumonia also one opportunistic associated with AIDS?
Yes
What result from griffith's experiments suggested that the cause of pneumonia was not a chemical poison released by the disease-causing bacteria?
The difference between "walking pneumonia" and "true pneumonia".
How to defrintiate between vibro cholera and pseudomonas aeruginosa?
The difference between vibrio and pseudomonase is that the pseudomonas are opportunistic pathogenic bacteria while vibrio are nonsymbiotic bacteria.
What is the difference between a lung infection and pnuenomia?
Pneumonia is one type of lung infection, but not all infections are pneumonia. It depends on which sort of bacteria are causing the infection and where in the lungs the infection is.
What is the difference between streptococcal meningitis and streptococcal pneumonia?
Streptococcus viridansarranged in chaincauses minor disesaseoptochin sensitivity -veuncapsulated
Can a goat give a dog pneumonia?
No a goat can not give your dog pneumonia Pneumonia is a secondary opportunistic infection that followed some other health problem with your goat. It is pretty easily treatable in goats with some pen-g, and there are no worries of your dog contracting it. If you dog does get sick, it is entirely unrelated.
What is the difference between pathogens and opportunistic organisms?
Pathogens are microorganisms that can cause disease in a healthy host, whereas opportunistic organisms are typically harmless, but can cause infection in hosts with weakened immune systems. Pathogens are generally more virulent and cause disease more readily than opportunistic organisms.
How do you tell the difference between an allergy cough and a bronchitis or pneumonia cough?
Bronchitis often has a colored flam while allergies are clear.
What is the difference between left lower lobe pneumonia and bilateral pneumonia?
You have 3 lobes on the right side and 2 lobes on the left (with a little bitty middle lobe in between on the left). When you have left lower lobe pneumonia it is at the base of your left lung. When you have bilateral pneumonia it is on both sides of the chest (right and left lungs), but it could be in any lobes(most commonly at the bases).
Does Swine Flu cause pneumonia?
Yes it can. Complications from swine flu can cause respiratory infections including pneumonia. Swine flu itself can evolve into viral pneumonia, or it can be what is called an "opportunistic" bacterial infection (secondary infection) that a weakened immune system or one that is busy fighting the virus can allow.
What is the difference between atelectasis and pneumonia?
Atelectasis is the collapsing of a lungwhen there is an interference with the natural forces that promote lung expansion. Pneumonia is an inflammatory process and infection, usually involving fluid in the lungs.Atelectasis is basically a collapsed lung.
What result from Griffith experiment suggested that the cause of pneumonia was not a chemical poison released by the diseases causing bacteria?
The difference between "walking pneumonia" and "true pneumonia".
